As I was half asleep, I noticed the guy behind me too also got infected with the spirit of sleep as he leaned on the table and joined me.
Our hands were so close to each other on the table and I was having the urge to hold it again, it was so warm.
Maybe my body was faster than my mind, but my hand on its own brushed past his when I adjusted myself to be more comfortable.
I guess he read my body language or he was thinking what I was thinking, because he did the same thing and that intensified the urge to hold hands.
Before I knew it, one of my fingers was touching one of his and then two..three , four..my little left hand were wrapped inside his big hand.
We didn't move, we wanted to know each other's reactions,
"Does he like it?",
"Does she like it?", We must've thought within us.
I dared not look at him as I was afraid he might get shy and let go. We remained in that position since no one made a move and I really loved it..I guess he did. (Smiles)
After that night class, things changed between us, the way he texted me changed, he even started calling me some cute names and I knew I was just falling.
He didn't come for night class the next day and I really missed him, he did too ..we texted all night..with him adding cute emojis and calling me sweetie (blushes).
We met in school and he was all warm around me, I guess he liked me too..after our exams..I went home to sleep a bit, not up to thirty minutes, he called me and asked if I was free to come to the open air library inside school, he was reading maths there with his roommate, I quickly dressed up and went to meet him.
I don't like maths for any reason but I noticed he was good at it, I kept watching him til I slept off. I was facing him and had a biscuit wrap in my hand.
I wasn't a deep sleeper so I knew when he turned and was staring at me, he chuckled after a while and collected the biscuit wrap from my hand quietly and discarded it.
I knew this guy liked me too.
After a while I woke up, it was already evening,
" I'm already tired, we should be going back to prepare for night class", he said to me and I nodded. I was actually tired and I knew I was coming to that night class because of him..I just didn't know how to read maths.
We walked together towards the school gate with his roommate following behind.
"Bye", I said to him as we were going to different directions.
He nodded and when I wanted to leave, he quickly gave me a hug. This guy keeps making me fall for him.
" See you in the night", he smiled and left with his roommate.
I just stared at his back and left.
Our exams will end tomorrow and here we are for the last night class, he was still reading that maths text book while I was just staring at mine, I kinda came late cos I overslept and some people were sitting beside him..so I just sat at their back,he was equally teaching them and I kinda felt jealous,that was the first time we weren't sitting together, I've been sad cos I won't get to see him after that day without making excuses to see him and he was.....(will he even miss me) I started at his back sadly, I even noticed some girls around him trying to ask questions,
I guess he noticed someone's fiery stare at his back as he turned and smiled at me
" I thought you wouldn't come, why are you sitting there alone?", He asked.
I looked at him for a while, unsure of what to answer. My anger already vanished as he smiled at me.
" I...I didn't..I didn't want to disturb you, I saw you were busy", I replied, I opened the text book I was holding and started looking at it.
"I'm trying to revise too", I added.
" Alright, ask me if you don't understand anything", he said and I looked at him and nodded.He then turned to face the others.
(At least he knew I was there).
I slept off after a while ..but at a point..I noticed someone was touching me inappropriately....I woke up and noticed a guy beside me ..I quickly moved his hands away and he pretended to be sleeping, I became very furious and disappointed cos the guy was my friend too.
I looked for Kris and saw him still reading in front of me.. luckily for me there was an empty space beside him, I think those brats disturbing him already slept off.
I quickly climbed the table and sat next to him.
"Hey, you are awake?", He asked and helped me adjust.
"Yeah", I nodded and looked back at that guy who was still pretending to be sleeping, I looked troubled, should I tell Kris what happened?
" What's the matter?", he asked.
" I...It's....it's nothing", I just didn't know how to tell him cos I was feeling embarrassed and I wanted to talk to that guy myself.
The next morning, on our way back to our lodges, I still had what happened in mind and wasn't really talking much, he noticed that I was unusually quiet and held my hand as we walked.
"Can you talk to me now, what's bothering you?", He asked again.
I looked at him, how does this guy even know when I'm not alright..he looks like a bad boy on the outside but he's a very calm and warm person. I just decided to tell him.
" Last night, that...that guy that slept beside me..touched me inappropriately", I finally said and he stopped and looked at me.
"Inappropriately?..how....where did he touch you?", He asked looking a bit furious.
"Wait..calm down..he just..It was just..he touched my ..my thigh and my back..his hands were moving to my chest when I woke up and came to you", I explained.
"And you kept quiet, you could've told me, where does he stay?", He asked turning to go back to the lecture hall.
"Wait, please stop, I'll talk to him myself", I said holding him because he was looking like he'll cause a scene, I've never seen him angry.
" I can't, why will he touch you like that.." , he said and wanted to release himself from my grip but I held him tightly.
" Please..I promise .. I'll talk to him..", I said again.
He looked at me for a while and decided to calm down..we walked silently to the school gate and parted ways , I walked to my lodge.
